Named Sana by her original owner, but if a pet’s actual name is whatever we call them most, then her real name is “Hey You”.

These are our 2 fur babies.
Bobo is a rescue and 14 years old now. Every year we take him to the vet, they tell us it’ll be his last visit. At this point I think he’s stull kicking along just to spite them.
Anya is our younger baby. She just turned 2 and is always a bundle of energy.

Are those Chihuahua Pomeranians?
I’m living vicariously through this post and looking forward to having a fur baby again some day! Thanks for threading this @stepho!!

Here is our dog Rio. Our buddy rescued him from his family in east texas (chained to a chicken coop and left outside for his first year and a half) and we absolutely love his aggressive cuddling style.

I have a garden where I cultivate water lilies and lotus along with many other native plant species. I also introduce native fauna and something that has done really well are Leopard frogs. They calm down quite a bit in a domestic situation (captivity) and will let me get close enough for a good photo. In fact I’ve been startled when I finally noticed one that has been watching me from 3 feet away as I go about my gardening activity. Their call is so loud I sometimes worry about disturbing the neighbors. They are all named Froggo.
This spring I’ve been rescuing tadpoles from Barton Creek that are trapped in small pools. Without rain things will dry up and these guys will not survive. Even in my neighborhood they’ll have to deal with racoons and outdoor cats. Any other pond people here?

No pond at this point. I had one growing up that was a large koi breeding pond that had been neglected for about 15 years. It was definitely full of tadpolls, frogs, leeches, snakes, all kinds stuff.

Is he a new addition? Adorable.
Yes, our first dog Laika found her! They are little best friends. 
This is Simone: 
I had to use a deburring tool on her today because she managed to jump into a thicket of dry Galium aparine - Wikipedia
